Third-placed Ipswich Town will be able to call upon two of their best attacking players again for tomorrow's crucial Championship meeting with Hull City
One of Leeds United's direct promotion rivals have been handed a double injury boost for the Championship run-in. Ipswich Town head coach Kieran McKenna has revealed winger Wes Burns and striker George Hirst will be part of the travelling squad for tomorrow's encounter at play-off chasing Hull City.
Hirst, the son of former England striker David, has missed 18 matches through injury. McKenna said: "He's been out for quite a long period, but he's a fit boy. He's trained for a good period of time now and we're not going to save anything back in the last week."He's like all the other players, raring to have a big part to play in the last week.
McKenna is delighted to be able to call upon Burns and Hirst in their final three fixtures. Coventry City's involvement in the FA Cup semi-finals means the Tractor Boys have gone a fortnight without playing a match. They could trail second-placed United by four points if the Whites beat Queens Park Rangers this evening.
"We've got good availability and we've got some players back training with us, which is a big boost, and we have good options for every position. I think we're in a healthy position."
